README: clarify that neon_local is a dev/test tool (#10512)

## Problem

From time to time, folks discover our `control_plane/` folder and make
the (reasonable) mistake of thinking it's a tool for running full-sized
Neon systems, whereas in reality it is a tool for dev/test.

## Summary of changes

- Change control_plane's readme title to "Local Development Control
Plane (`neon_local`)`
- Change "Running local installation" to "Running a local development
environment" in the main readme
